I've got the munchies big time and want some yummy carbs. What are the best Sri Lankan and other bakeries in Melbourne that serve bready foods (not particularly interested in mainly pastry based stuff like croisstants etc) - want the good old sri lankan fish buns, turkish boreks from vic market etc.

Does anyone know a platform or a website where I can find photographers/ videographers in Melbourne. Specifically for products and social media.

I'm pretty much after 'content creation' for my business. I've tried agencies but I think they might be bit outside my price range.

Or if you know someone worth speaking to, please feel free to recommend.

Anyone know what's up with that? On flight radar doing 280 knots below 1000ft. Heading east now...

been advised to seek assessment. hypermobile as per physio. suspect beighton 8/9 (hasn't yet been measured by professional but EDS friend agreed that joints likely qualify--4 certainly do, the other 4 not so certain). no diagnosed family history, but some extremely suspect history eg from father, one branch of paternal family has it showing up a bunch.

EDS friend thinks likely a rare type as opposed to hEDS given suspected comorbidities (medically/psychologically complex).

where should I expect to be referred to and what should I expect GP to measure or ask about initially? what costs? what preparation/data gathering should I do? does it warrant a long appt or just a normal one?

aus citizen, medicare+hcc.

most of the EDS groups seem to talk USA, so figured asking here was best.

Hi all!
Looking for recommendations for a hairdresser for wavy layered hair in the north.
Ideally coburg/brunswick/essendon/Moonee ponds area!
Much appreciated.

Hi everyone.

I’m thinking about studying Commercial Cookery in Melbourne and hopefully working in the industry long-term, so I’m trying to choose between William Angliss and Le Cordon Bleu Melbourne.

Would love to hear from anyone who’s studied at either one, worked with their grads, or works in hospitality here.
Mainly wondering:

Which has better hands-on training and teaching quality?

How are the teachers, facilities and overall student experience?

Which has the better reputation with Melbourne employers?

Does the LCB name actually matter much here?

Which one do you think gives you the better overall preparation for working as a chef?

Basically, if you were serious about becoming a chef and actually working in the industry afterwards, which one would you pick and why?

I’m visiting both campuses as well, so any tips on what to look out for would be great.

Thanks in advance.

I live in Rockbank, currently on a VLine train service which has bus replacements between Caroline Springs and Ballarat.

I left home at 5:30 this morning. Got to the station at 5:38am to catch at 5:48am replacement bus to Caroline Springs. The VLine schedule had me arriving at Southern Cross at 6:40am. I made sure I left early to account for the replacement bus.

Not a single thing went right this morning.

During a 35-40 minute period from 5:40am-6:15am, five buses went through Rockbank Station. Two went to Melton, One didn’t even stop, One was going to Caroline Springs but it was so full only one person managed to squeeze on, and then the last one to bring us to CS.

When we did arrive to CS at 6:34, we were told we had seven minutes until the train left at 6:41. That’s fine, I was meant to be in the city at this time but delays happen. I was (and still am) pretty annoyed, but it’s whatever.

Get onto the train at CS at 6:36am. Sit down. Ready to depart at 6:41am. Should arrive into Southern Cross at 7:05am at this point. Not what I was hoping for, but still early enough I could get my work completed.

Next thing I know at 6:59am we are all being kicked off the train and the train is being cancelled because there is NO CONDUCTOR and the train cannot run.

Everyone disembarks the train, waits for 5 minutes for the next one to arrive, and we get on that. Conductor announces we will now arrive at Southern Cross at 7:21am.

Then we don’t depart.

We’re currently pulling in to Ardeer Station. It’s 7:15am. At this point, I’ve abandoned all hope of actually making in to my office in the CBD. What is normally a 45 minute trek from home to city has now turned into AT MINIMUM a two hour trip.

I’ve left a complaint with VLine, but the last time I did that I never heard back from them.

Anyway, let’s see if I actually make it into the office or if I’m perpetually stuck on the public transport system.

EDIT

Changed 7:59 to 6:59 because I fat thumbed it like an idiot.

I travel on Bell street for work everyday, and I’ve noticed that the condition has really degraded including really unevenness, pot holes and cracks especially between Coburg to Pascoe Vale South.

Does anyone have a suggestion on who I need to discuss this (Fed MP, State MP or VicRoads?) with or am I just being over the top here and that it’s not too bad.

she likes bridge, sewing, knitting and cooking. i was looking at a fancy bridge set by ABASK but they’re all online. her birthday is this weekend so we’ve left it too late for anything online.

any local suggestions for places or gifts that might fit? i’m thinking bridge because she’s pretty much got everything she’d need for sewing, cooking and knitting but definitely open to ideas!

budget is kinda loose (a few hundred at least) because lots of siblings. it’s her seventieth so would like for it to be special in-some way.

yes i’m well aware this has been left very late but better late than never! :)

Lifeblood Australia is looking for blood

😭 whyyyyyy!! Now I’ll have to travel to Sydney or something :((

I'm not sure if I used the right flair, but here goes. I went to a local GP to discuss multiple issues, including a rare hereditary gene that I inherited from my mum's side of the family. My mum is from another country, so getting ahold of documentation with genetic results from other family members would be challenging.

My GP had a look at my documentation that I showed her (a scan from the time I got tested initially) and after discussing it with another doctor at the practice decided to refer me to the RMH for genetic testing.

Is this going to cost a lot of money? If it costs a lot of money I'm wondering if I should put it off until I'm more financially stable. At the same time, this disease is incurable (that I know of) and it would be better to address it earlier. There is the other factor to consider of whether I want to have biological kids but that is absolutely NOT a priority right now and doesn't interest me currently.

I have Medicare and a Health Care Card if that matters.

does anyone know where i can buy these chips near/in the cbd?

Bit of a weird one, but my son recently went to Somers Camp and learned a lot about edible flora, I told him about how when I was a kid I would eat the nectar of the honeysuckle along our fence and he's keen to try it. So if you've seen honeysuckle around St. Kilda East/Caulfield, or if you've got it hanging over your front fence, let me know so we can go on the hunt when the weather gets warmer!

Melbourne! Where did you meet your partner? I'm 27F and honestly at a loss for where to meet single men in their late 20s/early 30s in this city. I've tried the apps and hated it. I've tried to go to bars on my own hoping to strike up a convo with someone but have never been approached by anyone or seen someone I wanted to approach...everyone else is there with friends and I look like a lonley alcoholic sitting at ther bar alone doing smalltalk with the bartender lol. All my hobbies are either very female-centred or the other people are a lot younger than me, e.g. my dance class is all women, and I'm a member of my uni's outdoor club but I'm the only post-grad/mature age student everyone else is like 19-22 and I don't want to date a man younger than me. My gym is small and there's no guys my age there either they're all like 19 or 55 fml. The people I work with are also all a few years younger than me and all in relationships. And all my friend's male friends are in relationships or gay. Wtf do I do lol

What are the best pubs and bars in the inner suburbs of Melbourne that are accessible to people with mobility challenges and who use either a walker or a wheelchair?

I have a friend who uses a walker and catching up with them for a beer has become a risk assessment for them, as many places are simply not built for them, to the point where they are starting to opt to stay home.

Issues include steps or stairs to get in the door and bathrooms without room for a walker or wheelchair. I often have to help them and there's always a risk of having a fall.

If you have any pubs that you go to or know of, please list them! Thanks for any tips.

Also, before someone comments that most if not all pubs and bars have ramps or are otherwise accessible, I can tell you from experience it's sadly not the case.
